None of the things in the list below have anything to do with each other, but here goes:
- Today was the 41st Anniversary of Pearl Harbor. On the radio this morning, she heard Pres. Roosevelt’s voice, tinny and full of static, addressing the American people. Self, an incorrigible writer, grabbed a pen and pad and took notes.
- Today self tried a Mixed Berry Pie from Gracie’s on Laurel Street in San Carlos. She’s always had a fondness for Gracie’s, for this is a local fave. Not to mention it has the same name as her Dear Departed Gracie, whose death in April 2011 broke self’s heart. But — back to the Mixed Berry Pie. That is, OMG, the BEST, absolutely the BEST Mixed Berry Pie self has ever tasted. Absolutely bursting with berries, and just the right amount of tartness. Perfect heated up, with a dollop of ice cream.
- The Man was watching Predator 3. The one with Adrien Brody. He gets to bare his chest. Thank God, he is very buff. Self loves these Predator movies. There’s no finesse about them at all. This one even has a yakuza. You know, that Last Stand Scene in the first Predator, when the Native American guy decides to stand and fight, and the Predator shreds him in something like two minutes? The same thing happens here. Guess who gets to be the sacrificial victim this time? Come to think of it, Predator is sort of like Survivor, only of course one has aliens. But the thinking is the same. That is, they both encourage self to imagine herself in that place with those people, and she always ends up coming to the same conclusion: She will be the first casualty. The first one kicked off the island. Indubitably.
- In the commercial break, self learns that Justified Season 4 STARTS JANUARY 8! OMG, there he is: Timothy Olyphant in the Stetson (only this time self isn’t sure if it’s still white). OMG, OMG, OMG!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
